As we wind down Financial Literacy Month here in Arkansas, I had the privilege of engaging with Coalition leaders from over 20 other states as well as dozens of National Jump$tart partners in sharing best practices, tools, research data, healthy debate on approaches to financial literacy education challenges, and the opportunity to grow our support networks during our annual conference in Washington D.C.
